A diferente ProgressBar

[rfazendeiro]

Hi to all,

 

I'm looking for a diferente king of progress bar. Well i don't if we can call it a progress bar but what i want is something like when you start windows xp and you get the black screen with windows xp logo and a that "progress bar" at the botton.

 

Is the anything like that in .net?

ok...i guess i did not explain right :)

 

What i want is a progress bar like the one that shows when your starting windowsXP.

I'm assuming you mean you want a progress bar that looks like the one you see when Windows XP is loading. As far as I'm aware there isn't one included with .Net you would either have to create a custom control or find one made by a 3rd party.

you need to set it's window style to PBS_MARQUEE

see the definition of progressbars on Msdn here --> LINK <--

to get the current style use GetWindowLong , to set the updated style use SetWindowLong adding the PBS_MARQUEE to the current style :)

 

edit: to Cags ....
